Why lift?
Strength training supports metabolism, bone density, posture and confidence at every age.
A simple starter routine
Squats, push-ups, rows, hip hinges and carries cover nearly every movement pattern. Do 2–3 sets of 8–12 reps.
Progress gradually
Add a rep or a little weight each week. Rest at least a day between sessions for the same muscles.
Key takeaways
- Full-body, three times a week
- Master form before load
- Small weekly progress adds up
